Ethereum Price Jumps Over 8%

Ethereum price remained stable near the $2,520 support zone. ETH formed a base and started a fresh increase above the $2,600 level. The price gained over 8%, outperformed Bitcoin, and even surpassed the $2,650 resistance zone.

The price spiked above the $2,720 resistance. A high was formed at $2,748 and the price is now consolidating gains. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2,695 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,518 swing low to the $2,748 high.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another increase, the price might face hurdles near the $2,720 level.

The first major resistance is near the $2,750 level. A close above the $2,750 level might send Ether toward the $2,880 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,920. An upside break above the $2,920 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,000 resistance zone in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,750 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near $2,700 and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,640 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,518 swing low to the $2,748 high.

A clear move below the $2,640 support might push the price toward $2,580. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,520 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,450.
